A Giraffe on the Balcony

Lidia Muñoz is a retiree who has been living in Barcelona since 1978. Lidia was forced to exile from Argentina after the military dictatorship that ruled the country at that time tried to kidnap her and make her disappear. Pregnant with her only daughter, Valeria, she managed to escape to Spain. Forty years later, she receives a summons from the Argentine Ministry of Justice to testify in the trial for the kidnapping and disappearance of Oscar Medina, her boyfriend at the time and Valeria's father.

My Emptiness and I

Raphi, from France, fantasises about romances with princes, and about starting a traditional family. But in reality, things aren’t like that. She works in a call centre in Barcelona, struggles with at times embarrassing dates, and is diagnosed by her therapist as having gender dysphoria. During this confusing, yet valuable period, we follow this trans woman as she makes her transition, as well as in her everyday life. She talks candidly with colleagues, queer friends, and the men she meets through apps. In spite of all the advice she receives, it turns out that it is mostly time and experience that will help her embrace her place in this world.
